I've not got the rulebook on me, but the important difference is the term 'Craft Value' which refers to your starting (printed) craft, not your current craft.

I'm pretty sure it is also explained in one of the FAQs. Trust me as a former playtester on the game, this is the way it is supposed to be. It's also possible that this interpretation was changed when FFG took on the game because of the overpower issue.
